ABSTRACT
The major focus of this guide and its accompanying
student manual (CE 010 397) is to help the student understand the
manufacturing enterprise., (The guide and student manual-are part of a
manufacturing cluster series which addresses itself to career
awareness, orientation, exploration, and preparation.) Seven sections
are included. An overview of career education and manufacturing
history:is presentedin the first two sections along with a
discussion of the structure ofi.manufacturing, which is systems
-oriented in order to show interrelationships and to promote
understc,nding of it in:three highest common denominatorS--functions,
processes, and.products. Sections j and 4 describe the generalized
program development paradigmS and includes both instructional and
curriculum development models. Guidelines and a description of,an
exploration program in manufactLring occupations using the food and
. kindred products industry as ,an ekample are presented in sections 5
and 6. The last section contains the following 20 program product
categories, with each containing selected activities and experiences
and sources of information related to lunction: Ordnance and
Accestories; Tobacco Manufacturers; Textile Mill Products; Apparel'
and OLher Finished Fabric Products; Lumber and Wood Products;
Furnitureig: d ixtures; Paper and Allied industries; Printing,

-ISCRIMINATION PROHIBITED-Title VI of the CiVil Rights Act of 1964
states: "No person in the United States, shall, on the ground Gf
race, color, or national origin,'be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjeetld to discrimination
under any,program or activity receiving federal financial, assis-
tance." Therefore, the Vocational Education program, like all
other programs or activities receiving financial assistance from
the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, must be operated
in compliance with this law.

The project presented or reported herein was performed pursuant to


a grant from the United States'Office of Education, Department of
.Health, Education, and Welfare. However, "the opinions expressed
herein do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of the
United States Office of Education, and no official endorsement by
the United States Office of Education should be inferred.
FOREWORD

This guide is directed towardthe United States Office of


Education emphasis on Career Education via a,cluster concept. The
Manufacturing Cluster is the area of presentation in this guide.

Manufacturing Enterprise contains considerable information


and data about careers, occupations, jobs, functions, processes,
products, related knowledges, skills and attitudes. It is diffi-
cult to detail all aspects of.the subject.

This project effort used the research mode due to the above
condition. Whether or not there is Career Education in the Manu-
facturing Enterprise is the main concern. Therefore, this guide
dwells on the first parameter of research, namely, understanding.
Further, Manufacturing Enterprise, singularly, was the object to
be understood. It was felt that be'fore much work went into.full
scale curriculum development and program operation, in either
Career Education and/or Manufacturing Enterprise, the under-
standing of the Manufacturing Enterprise was the prime requisite.
This postiere was taken as being necessary due to the attempted
linking of the human career dimension to and within this typical
enterprise. Because of the concentration on understanding, and,
in view of grant constraints and unavailability of proven
methodology to handle prediction-and control dimensions, this
guide is just that--a guide, not a'program.

The guide is arranged in order to,present an overview of


Career Education and manufacturing history in the first sections.
This is followed by a Structure of Manufacturing which is systems
oriented in order to show interrelationships and to promote
understanding of it in three highest common denominators, namely,
Functions, Processes and Products.

Next, the guide describes the generalized program development


paradigms and includes both instructional and curriculum develop
ment models. The next section deals with an Exploration Program
in Manufacturing Occupations using the Food and Kindred Products
industry, as an example. The last section of the guide lists
Product Categories, containing selected Activities and Experi-
ences ahd Sources of Information by category, related to function.

The Student Manual to be used with this Instructor Guide,


has the same general format on Career Education and Manufacturing.
The Student Manual then picks up at the Product Catego-v section
and is expanded in occupational information at specific levels.
The two publications should be utilized together in teaching
manufacturing occupations.
5
The main reason that the guides were developed in this mode
was to allow the necessary prerequisite of understanding to be
addressed first. This,then can be taken by the school system and
support personnel conseirtia and be arranged and/or modified to
suit their purposes for Training, Education and/or Development.

The utilization of this guide should enable a school system


and its support personnel to begin development of relevant and
meaningful programs in the careers dimension of human resource
development using specific job-tasks developed in the Student
Manual.

major factor.to be considered in the use of this,guide is


that the models transcend cluster-approaches to describe the world
of work. Manufacturing Enterprise uses the.same types and kinds
of personnel, equipment and products as do nearly all other pre-
scribed clusters. The articulation between manufacturing and the
world becomes immediately evident when presented in the systems
format. It is felt that this will enable a much udder band of
exposure-exploration activities to be considered with a minimum of
structures and parameters interferring with the learning process.

It is.the prime purpose of this guide to promote under-


standing of the Manufacturing Enterprise. It is sincerely hoped
that it has accomplished this purpose.

CAREER EDUCATION

TRODUCTION

The American educational system has been described as the


greatest achievement in democratic processes at,_empted by any
people. Thp system was built upon the concept -If equal educa-
tional opportunity for all. Its goal is to allow each person to
become_trained and/or educated to a level corruriensurate with their
inherent capabilities. In support of this concept and goal, it
was required that compulsory attendance in the school system, from
six to sixteen years of age, be maintained. The concept, goal and
requirement of American education differ markedly from the educa-
tional systems of many countries. -

While it was possible to meet the requirement of compulsory


attendance, meeting the idealized goals has been a problem.
Attainment of the goal and concept has been a concern of the
political, technologic, economic and sociologic systems during the
history of this nation.

A major forward stecp came immediately after World War II,


when all of the various systems concentrated on human resource
development in the educational delivery system. During the period
of time from the late 1940's through the 1960's, legislation
supported integration and attendance to minority group educational
interests and problems;technology enabled industrial, trade,
commerce and general business expansion and, at the same time,
created new occupations and jobs.

After the 1960's-a major charge evolved from general society.


The massive and dynaMic change period generated the statement that
education was neither neaningful nor relevant. The educational
system and all interfacing systems are attempting to provide both
an answer and new posture to address that charge. Cne of the
approaches is called Career Education. It is to this charge that
Career Education programs are addressed, formed and operated. The
manner of approach is to examine the career work related com-
ponents of human endeavor and to determine how educational systems
--can be utilized to enhance the life-cycle human career dimension.

II
TION CONCEPT

The term Career Education, is a concept comprised of many and


varied sub-concepts, all centering in education but related to
many.factors concerned with life and work.

The primary process used in' this manual is representative of


career education, its concept and scope.

CAREER EDUCATION GO- S

The major goals of Career Education are:

1. To,make all education more meaningful and relevant to


individuals and their career development.

,Toiprovide the guidance, counseling, and instruction


necessary to develof self-awareness and self-direction;
toexpand occupational:choices and aspirations; and, to
develop appropriate attitudes toward the personal and
social significance of worl

To ensure the opportunity to learn a marketable entry


level skill prior ,to leaving school.

4. To provide knowledge and skills requisite :to further


education and employment uponcompletion of secondary
school programs.

To assist the individual in finding employment br in


receiving further education.

To utilize community resources in the education system.

7. To increase the available educational and occupational


options through a system which will permit entry and
reentry into either the world of work or an educational
system.

SCOPE OF CAREER EDUCATION

Career Education is a comprehensive educational program


beginning in childhood and continuing through adulthood. The
subject-oriented curriculum of the elementary and secondary
schools is restructured to include career development. -In the

2
primary grades Career Education is as important a componeht of
the educational system as reading, writing, and arithmetic. The
students explore the world of work and familiarize themselves wi
many occupational fields and gain an insight into, and a respect
for, both work itself and the people who work. In junior high
school, the student studies the structure of occupational fields
and begins experience-centered_learning in each of these fields.
In the eighth or ninth grade, students explore various jobs and
job families, so that by the tenth grade, they have already gained
initial entry level employmentskills.

Career Education prepares the stuient, leaving the school-i


system, with both employable skills anE a foundation for building
new and improved occupational levels in the future. Also, Career
Education recognizes that people may reenter the educational
system at any point for upgrading skills or learning new techniques.

PHASES OF CAREER FDUCATION

Career Education, as initially conceived, conSists of four


phases as in Figure 1, page 5.

Phasd I - ,_areer Awareness


Phase II Careet Orientation
Phase III - Career-Exploration
Phase TV Career Preparation

Phase I Career Awareness

Career Awareness is a major departure from the traditional


concepts of vocational education. It was formerly thought that
work preparation should start in high school. Research, however,
has repeatedly shown that the early years are the most important
learning years. Since Career Education is concerned with both
work and work attitudes, it is important to introduce Career
Education at the beginning of formal schooling. During Phase I
students will become acquainted with all of the Career Education
fields and learn that work is honorable, respected, and important.

Phase II - Career Orientation

Career Orientation, which normally begins in junior high


school, assists students in identifying talents, qptitudes,
interests and work requirements in the world of work. They will
not only acquire the basic knowledge necessary for making a career
choice, but they wil lso learn the structure of career fields,
and the variety of job levels in each. The concept of career
ladders will become clear and the student will be ablerto apply i
to several selected career fields. -Faculty members and
counselors, as well as resource persons from business and industry
could all participate in-programs, each offering theirown sPecial
services to students in the..;career-education phase.

Phase III Career loration

Career Exploration means in-depth study of several jobs.or


job families through simulation, vicarious experience and hands-
on oppor.tunities. The basic objectives of this phase are:

1. To provide in-depth exploration, beginning specializa-


tion, and skill development training in a selected
occupational field/job family,1

2. To improve student performance in basic and related


subject areas with emphasis on career development.

To provide inforffiatian and guidance-in the selected


occupational family in conjunction with entry level job
preparation.and/or preparation for continuing.education.

Phase IV - Career Preparation

Career Preparation, the attainment of intensive skill,


technical knowledge, work habits, attitudes and safety judgment in
one or more jobs'or job families, is the final step in Career
Education. The objectives for Career Preparation are:

1. lb provide specific training in a chosen occupation/


occupational:family in preparationfor job-entry and/or
further education.

To improve siudent performance by relating studies to


the-chosen area Of Work.

3. To provide occupatioW, information and guidance with


job preparation, aswelras prepare the student for
further education'and direction.

4. To insure that students meet the job-entry, and/or


advanced educational prerequisites of education
skills needed-for their occupational-career choices.

The basic concept of Career EducAtion is that it is an educa-
tional vehicle which attempts to integrate the work-related
aspects of careers, :occupations and jobs within the framework of
human development in given'or selected environments.

Career Education is:


2
1. To4Make all education more meaningful and relevant,

2. To provide an environment and opportunity for all


students to acquire attitudes, knowledge and skills at
their chosen level and in their chosen career field.

The scope and phases of Career Education cover the normal


educational life span df most students, from elementary through
secondary schools in four phases, namely: Awareness (Grades K-5);
Orientation (Grades 6-8); Exploration (Grades 9-10); and, Pre-
paration (Grades 11-12). Also, Career Education continues simi-
larly through post-secondary, higher education, adult and con-
tinuing education.

THE MANuFACTURING ENTERPRISE

BRIEF HISTORY

Manufacturing is an enterprise that uses land, capital, and


labor to produce goods. It is the process by which man adds
utility to the materials that nature furnishes and includes such
enterprises as textile mills, factories, mines,.electrical power
plants,'meat packing houses, food canneries and petroleum
refineries.

Production in an enterprise begins with natural resources


such as land, minerals, water, and timber. Without natural
resources man could neither survive nor improve his standard of
living. Yet, in their original'state, most
natural resources do
not satisfy human wants. Therefore, these natural resources must
be processed to suit needs and desires. This is accomplished by
'manufacturing enterprises.

From the beginning of time, people spent a greater part of


In
their waking hours searching for food necessary for survival.
the Paeolithic Age, tools appeared for the first time and man
began to change from hunter to producer. During the Neolithic
Age, man was using the loom, the wheel and the kiln: Techno-
logical development progressed through the ages and eventually led
to the Industrial Revolution. At the beginning of the industrial
Revolution, there were new materials, better tools and more
efficient machines. Conversely, the number of farmers
decreased
substantially as rural people migrated to the towns and cities.
The industrial society had begun and it was to drastically alter
the life'of all people.
As
In earlier times, most goods were produced in the home.
technology developed, manufacturing operations were transferred
from the home to the factcry and goods Were produced with machinery
rather than totally by hand. The growth of capitalism and private
enterprise paralleled the rise of the Industrial Revolution Many
new machines were invented. One of these, for instance, was
Hargreaves' invention of the spinning jenny. This made it possible
to produce more goods per day than ever before. Consequently, as
prices went down more people could afford to buy the goods.
Increased production and decreased labor costs resulted as factories
located on stream banks and water-powered machines replaced hand
powered machines.

American manufacturing dates back to the first permanent


English settlement in the New World. In 1620, New England ship-
builders found the natural resources/they needed--hard woods, soft

17
7
woods, and pine sap from which to make turpentine, resin and tar.
Saw mills were operating as early as,1631. When iron ore was
discovered in Massachusetts in 1654, John Winthrop, Jr., son of
e Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, went to England and
brought back both equipment and skilled iron makers. Braintree,
Massachusetts, was the site of the first iron furnace in the
colonies. In 1665, Groton, Connecticut, gave twenty acres of land
to a group who built a mill for grinding corn. The output of such
colOnial industries as these eventually helped make political and
economic independence possible for the United States. The people
who founded America realized the importance of trade and manu-
facturing as they pertained to continued independence and growth.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, a family lived on what they


raised on the family farm; used the'tools made by father and son;
and, wore the clothes spun and sewed by mother andflaughters.
,There'was also some exchange of simple goods between neighbors.
The early settlers, however,-had come to/the New World tomake a
better living and to live better, so even id thelekcabins
frontier villages there was fine English china, English woven
cloth and other English manufactured goods.

During th wars of 1776 and 1812, the United States could


not depend on England for,manufacthred goods. Factories, of
remarkable diversity, began to spring up across America, setting
the stage for the American Industrial Revolution.

Taward the end of the 18th Century, a number of inventions


ushered in the Industrial Revolution in the United States.

Eli Whitney, the.inventor of the cotton gin, demonstrated the


value of interchangeable parts in.making and repairing.rifles.
During the American Revolution each.rifle had'been painstakingly
made by hand. The hammer of one w6uld not fit the trigger of
another, the barrel of one could not be used with the stock of
another; if one part in a rifle broke, the entire gun had to be
sent to a gunsmith to be repaired. Whitney's idea&resulted in
the molding or stamping of identical parts. Assembling standard
parts into a finished product, rather than handfashioning individual
parts, saved both time and money. Eli Terry, a New England clock-
maker, who was one of the first to use this mass production
method, turned out standardized clocks by stamping out'identical
gears. His clock prices dropped from $25 to $5 per Clock by using
this assembly technique.

In 1769, James Watt developed the steam engine. i A mine


operator then put the engine on wheels and pulled coal over wooden
rails to the nearest town. This was the beginning of the rail-
road. Factory owners soon learned that steampower was less
exih6nsive than manpower, more convenient than waterpower and were
quick to utilize it in factories. During the first year that
steampowered sewing machines were used in the manufacture of shoes
(about the time of the Civil War), the shoe industry doubled its
highest previous annual output.

Farmer also benefited by industrial inven ions. Cyrus


McCormick developed the reaper and soon thereafter there were
steam plows, mowing machines, and threshers. On the seas, steam
driven ships began to take the place of sailing ships. Machines
driven by steam made more machines driven by steam. In 1860, the
United States was the fourth largest ranufacturing country in the
wqrld and\by 1894 it was the first. By 1917, this country'S
manufacturing created as much wealth as the next three highest
industrial-oriented countries combined.

The assembly line method of production was another powerful


force in implementing and modernizing manufacturing.. Mass assembly
techniques, bekun in 1903 by Sears Roebuck, led to HenrrFord's
assembly line production of automobiles. The era of mass`pro-
duction with reduced costs began. Formally designed luxury\items
were available to the American wage earner for the first tim

ft is estimated that production technology and methods have


made it possible for the average American worker to produce 250
times morein one Ozy than is produced by a worker in an under-
developed nation. The expansion in production technology and
methods goes on and will continue to go on as long as inventors
and scientists have incentive and reason to discover new machines
and methods for production purposes.
/

Technological advancement has continued at an ever increasing


rate. It is estimated that there have been more new inventions
since 1960 than in\all previous history. The impact of space
exploration, for instance, is just now beginning to appear in all
forms of industrial enterprise. Space technology has resulted in
stronger but lighter materials and smaller but mare sensitive
electronic equipment. New systems of management and production
have been developed.

Perhaps the biggest advanc in technology and manufacturing


in the past twenty years has t n place in the field ,of communi-
cation. The impact of computers and electronic communication
devices is startling. Future_m ufacturing holds both the promise
of new development and the challe ge to meet the needs of.an,
expanding population with its çvet increasing appetite for more
goods.

-,The principal function of Manufacturing_is to produce the


goods'.desired by society. This process creates jobs,-income for
Workers, goods for customers, and profits or loSses for owners.-
A manufacturing firm that does not produce a marketable product
cannot continue to exist. We are all consumers, and we expect the
products we buy to be of satisfactory quality and at a price we
can'afford. Technology and advancectmanufacturing techniques have
made it possible to lower the prices-of goods to within-the reach
of increasing numbers of people.

CHARACTERISTICS

Manufacturing enterprises have certain characteristics in


common whether they are large or small. However, there are
differences in the type and kind of characteristics. There are
great differences in scope, purpose, work force composition,
tools, machines, and facilities when comparing a General Motors
automotive plant'with that of a lamp shade plant. -The following
characteristics are common to all manufacturing concerns:

FACILITIES

,Facilities include buildings, g ounds -d, equipment necessary


to house and support the enterprise.

FINANCE

Manufacturing requires money. Money may be borrowed to start


the enterp-else--frombanks, private individuals (stocks and bonds)
and other sources. Money is a resource needed in day to day
operations to convert materials, machines, and services, into
products. Manufacturing Enterprise represents money invested.
However, it also provides economic growth by its internal and
external cash flows on a day to day basis.

MACHINE TOOLS

A very familiar-characteristic of manufacturing is its


machine-tools (machinery). These range from simple hand tools
(files, hammers) to giant computer-run machinery capable of great
accul-ccy. The nature of the machinery necessary to manufacture
the nroducts o a partiular Manufacturing Enterprise influences
the type and kind of worker that can be employed (skilled Or semi-
skilled).

The type and kind of machine tools also indicate whether or


not the Manufacturing Enterprise is to be mass production or
limited production in scope.

20

10-
WORK FORCE

Another familiar characteristic of manufacturing is the work


force. The-work force includes all who work in and for the enter-
prise. This range covers the entire scoPe of occupations from
president of the corporation to external field personnel in
regionally located warehouses. Since late in the 1800's many
classificatiOns have been,made to the work force. These range
from unionized work fopcb through professional, scientific and
skilled/unskilled.

MATERIALS

Although you may have facilitieS, finance, machine tools and


a work force, in order to operate you need materials. This
materials classification characteristic ranges from raw materials
ore, furs,.oil) to finished materials (products and equipment).
The term materials is both specific and comprehensive in coverage,
as it is used in general society and in manufacturing enterprises.
Materials to the foundry can be the ore from which iron-steel is
to be made. Materials to the assembly line worker can be com-
pletely finiShed component parts such as electrical wiring and
electronic Components,as well as tape. Usually, 'some interpreta-
tion of this term is needed as it is used in characterizing both
the Manufacturing Enterprise overall as well as in examining its
internal structure.

TIME

/While time, in asV of itself, is not generally used as a hard


characteristic describing-Manufacturing Enterprise, it is a major
factor to be considered in operations. Today, there is a fast-
food business; the automotive indlistry manufactures a given number
of cars per day. Generally, the work force is paid by the hour.
Money is borrowed on time-bases. 'Machines are operated and
maintained on a time-schedule. Time-delivery is money to the
manufacturing plant. Time is a very real commodity used by manu-
facturing enterprises. The use of time determines whether or not
they make a Profit, take a loss; or stay in business.

Although many times a characteristic of the manufacturing


enterprise is spoken of in terms of an environment-of-manufac-
turing, this cannot be classified, properly, as a commonali
The environment takes onmany dimensions such as a worker's view
of working times, compatibility with fellow workers, level of-air
quality, heating and parking facilities. 4/

A Manufacturing Enterprise has two environments,.internal and


external.- The internal environment is composed of all the charac-
teristics aforementioned and their actions aila inter-actions

21
within the physical confines of the plant The external environ-
ment is comprised of the local communitycustomers and the
affects/effects of the national manufacturing c6mmunity as well as
government controls. The many differences in eleMents comprising
manufacturing-environment precludes usirig thisl,as a typical
characteristic. Mistakingly, this is usually treated.solely or .

mainly as being equivalent to working,conditions; not truly the


case. For this reason, environment is not treated in this guide
as a common characteristic of ManufacturinglEnterprise.

PRODUCTION AND PRODUC-TIVITY

ProduCtion is defined as the creation of a utility or the


changing of materials into more tieful goods and services. It is
necessary because most raw materials in their natural state-do not'
provide sufficient utility. There'is an important difference,
however, between production andyroductivity. Ftoduction refers
to the total quantity of goods produced whereas productivi
efers to the production quanti in a specified time period.
t4

Productivity may be defined as a measurement of output per


man-hour, or as the relationship between input (factors necessary
to produce goods and services), andoutPut. Mhny factors deter-
mine prOductivity- and it is often difficult to determine which
contributes most to any given increase in efficiency. Some of the
important factors in productivity(include:

1. technological improvements,reflecting the ingenui y o


inventors, engineers, and scientists;,

A complete change in the use of energy has taken place


since the mid-1850's when almost all industrial effort
was human-powered. T6day almost all of the energy used
in production'is electro-mechanical.
,)

management factors reflecting new skills nd knowledges


as well as attitudinal changes ana,influences;

_y-increaSts in productivity result from organiza--


onal.andqprocedural impsovements rather than/from
increases in man-machine energy and capability/. Recog-
nition of:these faCtors, especially with management
systems, plus increased knowledge of man-machine effi-
ciency deVelopecIduriRg the last decade, have enabled
management labor:to increase proauction and
productivitY.
financial factors which determine the availability of
capital;

The availability of a technological innovation does not


mean it will be utilized. Someone must be willing to
adopt it and this requires capital investment. Capital
or money is supplied by individual investors. Private
ownership of American manufacturing firms is broadly
based. The corporate form of business, where many
investors pool their capital to form a single company,
has been a major factor in industrial expansion over the
paSt century.

labor factors which include work attitudes d skill


levels;,

Employee experience, work attitudes, skills,:health and


morale are important'human factors affecting produc-
tivity. Even the most'modern automation devices must be
people-maintained and people-directed.'-The greateSt
resource of-any organization is its human resource.

5. 'government regulation of such natural'resources as land,


mineral deposits, air., water and forests;

Continued increase of consumer demands has decreased


natural resources and has made the availability of
natural resources an economic factor in manufacturing.
Government, therefore, has had to regulate resources.
Industry has had to promote invention and use of new
materials or the recycling of used materials in order to
maintain productive capability.

Society can raise its standard of-living,by increasing its


production of goods and services. The measure of its success is
deteimined by how well industry produces. The American economic
system has been more successful than any other in satisfying
consumer demand.

CHANGES AND PROGPESS

Since 19501, technological advancement has been so great that


it has been said Ameriba is undergoing a second industrial revolu-
-tion. Manufacturers continue to make great strides to meet the
increasing demands-of consumers. Yesterday's dreats are today's
necessities. Nnufacturing will continue to play an essential
role in sotiety's quest for better products. Since World War II
society has become much more complex and its demand for goods and
...services has expanded dramatically. Manufacturing is a principal
element in the level of the American economy both by its capacity
to produce and in its ability to provide employment. Unques-:
tionably, the future will see continued changes in manufacturing
and even greater demands for new products and services.

MANUFACTURING AND SOCIAL PROGRESS

Historically, social progress reveals an ever increasing gain


In providing better education for more persons; increasing life
expectancy; providing opportunities to greater numbers of people
in cultural and recreational affairs; and, generally, increasing
standards of living. Social progress is usually linked with the
Manufacturing Enterprise through the fields of sociology, economics,
technology and political endeavor.

Manufacturing is a direct reflection of all these fields and


reflects the singular and combined influences of each. Manufac-
turing enterprises evolve from home-industries as they respond to
such influences as:

more and cheaper goods;


response to technological improvements and efficiencies;
necessity for economic and political.strength;
creation or opportunity for employment; and,
change dynamics of world markets.

The, role of manufacturing enterprises is, at times, a leading,


factor in creation of new markets and materials; and, a lagging
factor as it attempts to meet sudden demands for goods and ser-
vices. This area of Manufacturing Enterprise can be seen and
studied by reference to Gross National Práduct (GNP), which
reflects the level of inflation, recession,,'depression and growth.

Relative to education, Manufacturing Enterprise affects


school systems by virtue of its forecasts for types and kinds of
'workers for their work force. The school system responds with
revised curriculum and improved programs; utilization of new
trainifig techniques; Methods and.equipment; and, by providing
guidance information and counseling to students at their various
decision points.
7
The role-of-Manufatturing Enterprise thangeS with time and
general social progresS.-. As the capability.for supplying needed
and desired goodS becomes attainable in a given time period, the
.company role shifts to include more service functions to the
consumer.

24

14-
.=,
A shift from primary manufacturing of goods to one of
including services--customer relations, community relations,
'support of community activities, servicing and maintenance of
goods, expansion inilegal, financial, personnel and marketing
activities--permits the scope of Manufacturing Enterprise in
society to influence and be influenced by social progress.

THE STRUCTURE OF MANUFACTURING

The structure of Manufacturing Enterprise is shown in Figure


page 16. The elements of manufacturing are depicted as being
inter-related by forming the elements into a three-dimenSion box.
The elements are:

1. Functions:

Management and selected sub-functions


Support and selected sub-functions
Engineering and selected sub-functions
Factory and selected sub-functions

Processes:

Acquisition 'of Raw Materials


Formation Of Standard Stock
Components Production
Assembling
Finished Product
Distribution

3. Products:

Products are numbered along the base of the box-figure from


19 through 39. Theiptoduct categories are shown in Table I,
page 17. , A full range of 15roducts and related information about
each category is 4Ound in this Manual.

This model of Manufacturing Enterprise is quite representa-


tive of any selected manufacturing industry for rpOses of under-
standing the operations of manufacturing.

The model is useful for an overview of any Iction of sub-


function of manufacturing for purposes of awaren ss, orientation,
and exploration. In such dimensions as occupational profile,
needed skills and knowledge, present and future career prospects,
mobility in and between industries at a, chosen career level, and
career ladder progression, the model.can be useful to the student.

GUIDELINES 'FOR INITIATING A
CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN
MANUFACTURING OCCUPATIONS

I TRODUCTION

The purpose of this guide is to assist the teacher in estab-


lishing a manufacturing Career Exploration Program. Do not use
it as a substitute for good judgment. The classroom is unique and
must determine program objectives. The teacher needs the full
support of administrators, students, parents, counselors,
librarians, and other school staff as well as the support of
industry personnelexecutives, public relations employees, per-
sonnel officers, union representatives, and rank-and-file workers.
In short, this is a cooperative project in which the teacher will
be the coordinator.

IZED PROGRAMJEAN MODEL

Because the scope of manufacturing is so inclusive and the


purpose of the sending and receiving systems many,'it is recom-
mended that a program team be formed before any educational
activity in the sphere of Manufacturing Occupations is undertaken.

Basically the program team model is prescribed as shown.

GENERALIZED TEAM MODEL

2 '8

- 18-
It is felt that such a consortia is a necessary concommitment--
to a successful program in exploration and preparation activities
concerned with Manufacturing Occupations program. This is especially
and occu-
true when particular facets of Manufacturing Enterprise
pations are studied, discussed and/or experimented with outside
the Manufacturing Enterprise environment. In order to have a
proper program in exploration or preparation study and activities
it will be necessary to have the combined knowledge, resources and
skills of the consortia available to the teacher.

MAJOR PRE-OPERATIOM&L FA

The following Career Education prograM pre-operational


factors must be taken into consideration before proper program'
design can occur.

TIME,

When time is the dimension discussed and utilized as a pro-


gram profile characteristic, the following typical questions
should be answered before program design begins:

I. Is time to bp related to programlength on a discrete or


continuous basis?

2. Is time related to acquisition of. program objectives.on


a normalized student population-basis Or individual
basis?

How is time to be allotted among the school system


and/or industrial and support factions?

Ts the time increment desirable, for this type program,


Compatible-with conducting on-going nOrmal scholastic
enterprise?

These typiCal questions will evolve and must be answered


before program design can be considered in scope, objectives and
purpos . The school system, like Manufacturing Enterprise, is an
economic system and has to consider time as a moneY-factor con-
of
straint on its capability. The particular objectives and scope
the student-school system will be a major input to this dimension.
Some objectives will be identified and met rapidly--such as
enumerating and profiling the major activities of management
(plan, organize, select personnel and equipment, direct and
control), while others may take years (capability to absorb all
the skills, knowledges apd attitudes necessary to be a competent,
satisfied and advancing worker in any career field or oc ation).

29
19-
FACILITIES

The facilities available for the conduct of the program are


another constraint (problem) to be considered. The availability
of the facilities can be quickly determined by a survey of the
local community. This will allow possible consideration of pro-
viding experiences in visiting nearby facilities and, perhaps,
some selected on-line experiences. However, for the most part,
simulation will be the major method utilized during program opera-
tion. The school system personnel and consortia members should
work closely together in order to maximize introduction to the
real world.

The facilities program element, like the financial element,


points out the need for cooperative program design in this extensive
field of manufacturing occupations exploration and preparation. -

FINANCE

Finance, like time and facilities, will be a major program


constraint which must be pre-considered before program design \
begins. The political aspects in regular school systems are well
known and have their own financing problems. Viewing exploration
or preparation in manufacturing occupations as an add-on or
integrated program may cause additional problems in the time and
facilities constraints. This is another major area where both
direct and indirect aid from the consortia members can be a major
factor in problem resolution.

MATERIALS

Materials for a program dealing with:exploration and/or


preparation will generallY be determined by the school system
be based on such factors as:
\

1. geographical location;
2. cost-availability bases;
3. consumable or not; 1

4. accessability;
5. safety of operation; and,
6. degree of exploration and preparation undertaken.

Materials in support of most major occupational olassifi-


cations exploration and preparation activities are available from
comercial sources. Many of these are listed in the resources ,

list in this_guide.

It is in the materials problem area that the state, com-


munity, industry and union support personnel can give the most.
direction and aid. At the present time it is not possible to
give, or estimate, a per-student hour, semester Or year rate for

Specific.vocational and industrial arts program personnel could

PARTICIPANT ROLES

The success of the program for exploring and preparing for


careers in manufacturing depends to a great extent upon the
people assisting the students with their individualized programs.
Parents, school staff, and persons from business, industry, and
the community may assume specialized roles in helping the students.
A primary task of a career exploration instructor is to coordinate
the roles of all these people with whom the students come in
contact. This section will delineate these roles.

Many of the people will be unfamiliar with the roles they


familiarize tnem with
will assume. The teacher, therefore, must
their responsibilities and what is expected of them. As the
participants understand and agree to their roles,

the more
smoothly the program will run.

The following descriptions are written in general terms which

b. Supervisor of on-going programs
c. Staff development
d. Community relations interface

2. Staff Specialist Roles

a. Instructor and/or learning team manager


b. durriculum development
c. Media and materials development
d. Program coordination

Student Roles'

The importance of students is revealed by the fact that


they are the main concern of the educational system.
The specific roles played by the student will be both
active and passive. This is necessary since the work=
oriented aspects will have two dimensions in the explora-

21

31
tion and preparation phases, namely, vicariouS
about, seeing) and simulation, or direct experience
-acquisition.

During different program phates, the student will


assume both roles, but-central to each of_these roles
should be the following particular'role-prameters:

a. Program Inputs

Program objectives determination


Criteria formulation
Self-evaluation

Program Output

Program evaluation

Support Personnel Roles -

SUpport roles will generally encompl e following


areas:

a. Information specialists
b. Counseling/guidance specialists
c. Program evaluators
d. Learning theory specialists
e. Career field experts
f. Union theory and practice experts
g. Program management specialists
h. Eirrployment specialists
i. Testing specialists.

All of the above rules in support of the program can be


obtained from federal, state and local governments; departments of
labor and education; business, trade, commerce And industry;
unions; associations; librarians and commercial or trade pub-
lishers; and other national and lOcal resources. It would be well
to consider that these personnel, manifesting specialist-expert
roles, can be a dynamic on-line part of program activities and not
left in purely advisory-staff positions. It should be remembered
.

that the knowledge of manufacturing is in Mhnufacturing Enterprise


and not in the school system.

skills, volume, of products or types and kinds of inherent activities"

understanding. The easiest way to explore manufacturing is to
utilize a general interrogation model. The model is comprised of
comprehensive classes of activities which will be useful when
interrogating manufacturing in any or all dimensions of its
tructure; by function; by process; or by product. These model
classes are:

WIeREFIENSIVE MODEL

a. Description of career or occupatiOnal field


b. Determination of field scope and content
c. Determination of where field content resides
d. Acquisition of field content in format desired
Analysis of information for desired purpose
Determination of how to use information for purpose
desired

Utilizing this structured model will allow the instructor to


consider manufacturing as a huge data bank. The information so
arranged will be compatible with general curriculum development
models, categorically. The end result will be generation of a
student-oriented information system tailored to their interests.

The same comprehensiVe model can be utilized in the prepara-


tion phase as well. The,phasing and terminology changes as the
model applies more to specific knowledge and skill acquisition.
Hewever, it is structured in a manner that is compatible with the
exploration categories and content. The preparation model is as
follows: _

SPECIFIC MODEL

a. Selection of occupation or job,or job family

Interpretation of function, process or product specifi-


cations/requirements

c. Assessing or measuring the performance ac ivity or

d. Comparing specification and measurement

INSTRUCTION NIETI-IODOLOGY

Basically, there are two methods useful for conducting


exploration and preparation activities relative to careers, occu-
pations and jobs contained in manufacturing. The first is a
systems-oriented approach and is particularly useful in general
and abstract interrogation of nanufacturing. This approach
initially is quite useful in helping students find areas they
might wish to explore and to deteludne their interests and quali-
fications. The second approach is a discrete-oriented approach
and is particularly useful to complement understanding of the
occupation or job gained from previous exploration activities, and
to consider, in detail, the specific job-related skills and
knowledges.

SYSTEMS-ORIENTED

Reference is made to the Structure of Mhnufacturing, figure


2, page 16. As structured, manufacturing is comprised of three
major elements, namely, functions, processes and products. The
primary viewpoint to be taken is that Manufacturing Enterprise is
to be interrogated, explored and understood as a whole (imanufac-
turing) and explained in terns of its parts (functions, processes
and products). In this manner, it is possible to integrate present
courses and to construct related curricula which considers a cause
effect relationship. This brings out information of the nature:

1. ,How do,I contribute to the political economic, techno-


-logical and sociological facets of manufacturing (givtn
an assumed occupation)?

What does my job-performance in that environment do.to


me in my other life roles (status, groups, health,
family. life)?

If.I don't perform my job-tasks well (3r properly, what


.

does this mean and/or do to the system?

What related skills, knowledges'and attitudes are neces-


sary for me,to obtain--besides,the specifit job related
skills and knowledges--so_that I can perform successfully?

What should manufacturing do for me in order to maximize


both our positions and futures?

These type questions and the information they generate are


not mundane nor non-applicable. There is real understanding of
some manufacturing along these lines. Society blames something
called manufacturing for many ills and influences. Yet manufac-
turing, as such, is not all problems and ills. People create

4 -

4
manufacturing at all levels and to blame buildings, equipment is /
not logical. Also, such a line of questioning-interrogation leads
to deprecation of people-worker activities.

It seems that a systems-oriented approach would be beneficial


in examining major areas of concern which affect the school
system-Manufacturing Enterprise, such as:

1. The compatibility of industrial wants and needs wi


student-school system wants and needs.

2. Timeliness of these interactions and processes, i.e.--


future forecasts for type workers, when and how many.

Also, a systems-oriented approach when used at program Incep-


tion, with full consortia participation, will help identify and
focus on questions of the nature:

1. What is the'proper role of the Manufactu ing Enterprise


and School syStem in Such a program?

2. Who should instruct knowledge andskills programs.

3. If an integrated program occurs, will there be conflict


bptween educational, industrial'and/or union contracts?
Who will handle this?.

As can be seen, a systems-oriented approach is useful,


especially in exploration activities. This raises many questions
and provides the maximum opportunity for exposure to the Manu-.
facturing Enterprise in its totality. In the past, this informa-
tion was taught as job-related, either during the standard appren
ticeship, vocational or industrial education programs, or acquired,
slowly, on the job. This type and kind of information should be
presented before-the-fact,as an aid to screening-selection activi-
ties during the exploration phase. Later, the same information,
tailored to a job or occupation, can be reinforced at the specific
job level as related information and as an aid for rediction
andfor advancement purposes. r-

SPECIFIC

The job analysis approach is one which is in evidence in most


apprenticeship, vocational and industrial education programs. The
approach used is to assume that the parts (jobs, occupations) are
necessary when acquisitions of known or forecasted occupational
profiles is required. They are typified as they appear in the
Dictiona of Occ iational Titles and Em lo ent Outlook Handbook.*
Cbncentration 0 e ucation an training is accomp is e at
job-task level, then to a job-family (tasks) level and upward

through occupational levels, ever expanding. Curricula can be
quickly generated by reference to job descriptions-duties; General
EduCational Development; specific vocational Rreparation; equip-
ment/tools used; and, conditions of employment. The main differ-
- ence between the systems-oriented and specific approaches is one
of education versus training-emphasis. Systems-orientation is
education in the sense of having near future applicability. Dis-
crete-orientation is training in the sense of having specific and
immediate applicabili

The systems-oriented approach is a more difficult instruc-


tional model to use and demands many external resources for imple-
mentation. Also, the student benefits -may not be immediately
evident for purposes of measurement or evaluation. A school
system would have to extend and/or 'rearrange itself in order to
--accomplish such a program.

The discrete-approach is relatively well proven but has .


limitations built into it. Manufacturing Enterprise career, occu-
pations and job fields can be taught using both approaches. The
selection of the method(s) will be a function of the school system
and its supportive consortia.

GENERALIZED CU1RICULUM DEVELOPMENT 4JDEL

The Generalized Curriculum Development Mbdel recommended for


use in support of both exploration and preparation activities in
manufacturing occupations is shown in Figure 3, page 27. The
elements comprising the model are:

1. Needs Assessment. This is an assessment of the combined


needs of the student, the sending institution (school)
and receiving institution (the Manufacturing Enterprise).
If a job were the need, industry would specify the pro-
file needed/wanted; the school system wouid concur and
agree to develop a program to meet the industrial pro-
file; and, a student would agree and enter into such a
, program.

2. Develop coals. This element specifies what knowledges,


skills and attitudes are required (job description) to
meet the need and not now possessed by the student.

Identification of Student Needs. This element identi-


fies what-the student knows and does not knowabout the
skills, knowledges and attitudes-of the job to be edu-
cated and trained for as determined in-elements-1 and 2.

comitant to elements 5 and 6. In the case of -xplora-

tions, the instructional resources may be from industry,
unions, or other related areas. When such is the case,
timing will be a consideration in securing these
resources.

UTILIZING AN EXEMPLARY PROGRAM
AS THE LEARNING VEHICLE

ODUCTION

Manufacturing Enterprise content cannot be studied tn its


entirety nor learned even if one could live several lives. But
exploration in secondary school can be accomplished.

One= way of accomplishing maximum exposure to typical manu-


facturing scope is by use of an exemplary program. The criteria
for selection of an exemplary program are:

1. The exemplary program should encompass a wide span of


career and occupational fields.

2. The ca eer-occupational fields should have high visi-


bility in the school system area.

The instructional and material resources should;be


locally available and be easily/inexpensively obtained.

The exemplary program industry should be nearby--in


part_ if not in its entirety.

ADVANTAGES

The advantages of using an exemplary program a e


following are some of the advantages:

1. The scope and depth of the program can be made under-


standable.

2. Curriculum development effort is eased by utilizing


much.o1what is locally available and related.

3. Much information about the selected exemplary program


industry is already generally known by the school-.
student and consortia system.

4. Change information can be handled rapidly and


specifically.

5 Counseling/guidance information, job-related informa-


tion and access to specific resource personnel is
immediately available.

39

- 29-
DI SAD VANFAGES

When a systems-oriented enterprise is examined through one of


its elements, some disadvantages occur. These are, typically:

1. A tendency to draw conclusions about the whole enter-


prise from one of its parts.

2. The customs/culture, values and related criteria inherent


in the exemplary program are taken as being similar to
other manufacturing enterprise elements, which may not
be true.

Many interesting careers ahd occupations will not be dis-


cussed, i.e., those in Aerospace versus those in the
Foods Industry,

In given areas of the Nation, the views and emphasis


given may. not hold true for other communities.

There will be a tendency to overemphasize the_importande


of the exemplary program industrial contribution to the
whole field as compared to the other contributing
elements.

Mostly, the,systems-oriented instructional approach is pre-


ferred on the basis of the above disadvantages. Yet, in order to
have a quick-response and a specifically valid--at least for the
community--program, the more discrete approadh using an examplary
program will seem more cost-beneficial to most school systems.

PROGRAM EVALUATION PARAMETERS

Program evaluation of both the exploration and preparation


phase of activities in manufacturing occupations will depend on
the criteria established by the school system ieveloping and imple-
menting this type program. The criteria should reflect the inputs
of all consortia members in the school system program.

There appears to be difficulty in properly arriving at true


and meaningful evaluation if feedback from Mhnufacturing Enter-
prise, the work force, related areas and the school system is
examined. This becomes a problem in both the overall and specific
program goals.

30-

40
OVERALL EVALUATION

Because this type training and educational program is geared


to career education, the first overall evaluation parameters must
'be cOnterned with career.' At this time it seems both difficult
and unfeasible to.attempt an evaluation of career education.
Career education is too comprehensive and the state-of-the-art in
evaluation cannot approach a logic, proper or true format for
understanding, predicting or controlling any or all of its facets.'
Therefore, career education, as a term, will best be evaluated in
operational format.

The remaining overall evaluation parameter poses a question,


did this program do what it wasrsupposed to? This can be imme-
diately evaluated in discrete program stages, by both specific
and summative objectives acquisition. However, the overall
evaluation of the program is still difficult and rests with the
goal of the student. Program'evaluation, overall, will be a
function of feedback from the student at a future point in time.
When the student is in the preparation ,phase, feedback can be
obtained about earlier exploration activities. When the students
choose to either obtain a job or continue.formal education, feed-
back can be obtained about both exploration and preparation
relative to the choice made. At the present time, overall
evaluation will be dependent on future student successes and
recommendations are not made. at'this time to establish program
evaluation techniques, information or methodology.

SPECIFIC EVALUATION

Specific evaluation is possible and warranted. ,The curri-


culum development elements aforementioned have specific criteria
built in for use at this level of evaluation. In the discrete
taxonomic sense, the descriptive career, ptcupation and job .

skills, knowledges and attitudes can be specified, taught/learned,


tested and measured,the-Consortia member can evaluate these
factors bythe-Tg-ame standards and values that formed the criteria,
--Lattially. In this sense, specific evaluation is a closed-loop
system. The program could be successful in the occupational-
career sense, with the student meeting requirements aftd goals,
but, pa-sonal problegs may occur in the future such as:

1. the student went to work and found that he/she did not
like the job and changed jobs or quit.

2. The student went to work in_another pa_ _ of the co t


upsetting his family.

CONDUCT OF A TYPICAL EXPLORATION


PROGRAM IN MANUFACTURING
IMODUCTION

The following section contains a typical exploration program


in selected manufacturing industry occupations. The program
example-selected is based upon the food and kindred products
industry. The other areas can be taught in a similar manner.
Time and space ConStraints do not permit detailed guidelines for
all areas. The food and kindred products industry was chosen as
thecvehicle-program because it meets the criteria for establishing
an example program in nearly all parts of the United States,
namely:

1. It encompasses a wide career and occupationa field


span;

The career and occupations are highly visible


community;

3. The instructional materials/media and resources are


available, locally; and,

4. The industry, in part or whole, will be nearby.

Program'Nsign and its conduct is a matter to be determined


by the school system. .A program to explore any occupational field
could be very short and specific or open ended. The program could
explore one job or occupational family or a series of families or
careers. The constraints and limitations on program design,
mentioned previously, plus whether this program is to be con-
sidered to be: (1) an add-on program; (2) an in-place of program;,
or, (3) an integrated program will determine the design and
conduct parameters.

The example,program is structured into units:

1. Industry and society


2.. Marketing
3. Food industry work force
4. Quality assurance careers
5. Roles and skills
6. Employment patterns
7. The real world
In each section, both discrete and genera/ explorati9n
activities can be attempted depending on the /Constraints at work.
The guidelines are established to provide springboards frbm which
to enter into both the locally specified area as'well as !the
dire'ctly and indirectly related peripheral areas.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

The guidelines suggegted in'this section for a Manufacturing


Career Exploratfon program, in;the Foods and Kindred Prbducts
Industry, represent just one approach that an-instructot might
use. The suggested procedure'for all areas are Food and Kindred
Products asran example. In/a similarly designed indiviaual
instructiorial system, the/instructor is more manager tl-ian instructor
and it is/toward this that the instructor must work. I

An' instructional system is individualized when: 1

1. The personality and capabilities of each student play a


major role in the selection of objectives, sequence of
study, choice of materials, and procedures followed.

The time'spent by each.student-on a given objective o


activity is determined by performance rather than by the
clock.

3. The progress of each student is measured bylcomparing


performance with specific objectives rather;than with
the performance of other students.

The first problem is to determine what level s udents are in


their manufacturing careers program. There are four categories of
entering students:

Category I: They have been introduced-to awarenesS orien-


tation Activities and are ready to begin
exploration.

Category II: They haVe been introduced to awareness orien


tation activities and have begun some Career
Exploration on their own:

Catego III: They have,been.introduced to awareneSs orien-


tation activities'but are inadequately prepared
'for exploration.

Category IV: They have never had instruction to manufacturing


careers at any level of endeavor.

44
The tine required for the completion of the manufaCturing
career exploration program different for each student, is deter-
mined by such factors As the student's interest, the number of
jobs_and job families studied, the nOmber of occupational groups
explored, and-the degree or depth of involveMent with any of all
of these.

MANUFACTURING CAREER EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Some suggested activities in preparing the students for


exploration in manufacturing would encompass the following:

Pre-test students to determine what they know about manu-


facturing; examine and explain all objectives to students;
review possible activities to attain these objectives;
encourage students to begin making decisions as to their
objectives. (Activities selected from the occupational group
being explored, will be matched-with the objectives of this
plan. This will constitute the student's "Plan of
Exploration".)

Review and discuss results of pre-test with students.


candid in a positive way and impress upon students the
importance of their sincere efforts. -Review the activities
tHe students have chosen and begin the necessary preparation
for undertaking them. Have the students begin writing
letters and setting up appointments.

Provide a vitiesfor those students who have inadequately


completed -weness and orientation-activities. From the
listp of erials and activities, the teacher should be able
to ke co ructive efforts, in this direction. Assio.
seVeral stude ts the weekly task of clipping newspaper
artieles ori manUfacturing, as well as finding-related maga-
zine stories.

Arrange visits and appointments as a result of the responses


which the students receive-to their letters and calls. A
large calendar could be used. The order of the rest of the
program for exploration can be Varied to satisfy student
needs and scheduling problems.

Exploration is the key word because the student must feel


free to examine, sample, test, question, and, in short, explore.
As manufacturing is explored, the students will learn, perhaps for
the first time, what an important role exploration plays in
-satisfying human needs. Also, the instructor will learn that a
relevant instructional program can solve many disciplinary and
motivational problems.

35-
S OFTRIOR R EXPLORATION

on completion of the career awareness c'a'reer orienta-


tion programs, the student will,have:
,'

1. Developed a positive attitude about the economic,


technicali political'and social significance of the
manufacturing-industry.

Developed a considerable degree of self-awareness an


understanding about attitudes, skills, knowledges,
interests, talents and self-concepts related to jobs in
the manufacturing industry.

Developed an expanded occupational awareness through


participation in a variety of specific career develop-
ment activities; an undersianding of the interdependency
of occupations; and,'the need to relate to and cooperate
with others in the world-of-work.

'Improved personal overall performance by participation


in a unified, action-centered, career-related curriculum.

The student's status in the program can be determined by:


pre verSus post testing; personal.interview; multiple-choice ques-
tionnaire;- or, open-ended survey. The exploratory student might
be asked such questions as:.

1. Why is th6 manufacturing indus ry important?

Why is the manufacturing industry important to you?

What kind of job in manufacturing are you considering at


this time? How do you obtain that type job?

4. If you obtain such a job, who will your fellow workers


be? Who will give you directions? Will you give direc-
tion to others? What will your job contribute to the
manufacturing industry? How will it help the country as
a whole?

Has your study of the manufacturing industry ,helped you'


in'school subjects?. If so, whiCh ohes and how? If not,
,how do you think that it could have?

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES-(GENERAL)

. In Career Exploration, the Students should explore broad


clusters of occupational groups2., jobs/job families, znd individual
tasks and responSibilities, thus increasing their understanding of

46
36-
manufacturing through concrete experience. The students will be
able to evaluate their own interests abilities, values-and needs
in relation to occupational goals. :The student will also have the
opportunity for more detailed examination of selected occupational
areas. In the academic areas related to manufacturing, an overall
improvement in performance would be expected. This expleration
will provide at least one occupational area in which the student
can work toward aeveloping job entry skills and appropriate
further educational experiences.

STUDENT GOALS (PROJECTED)

After a program .in Career Exploration, the students ShOuld


have:

Developed a knowledge of the manufacturing industry and


its relation to the entire world-of-work, including both
the knowledge of the industries themselves as well as
the contributions of the industries to the'prosperity
and success of this country as a whole.

Developed awareness of, and respect for, the men and


woffen employed in manufacturing occupations.

Developed skills in test-taking and self-analysis in


order to be more precise in finding themselves in the
manufacturing industry; to provide them with a profile
of their interests, attitudes, and aptitudes; and, to
help them relate to the jobs/job families they chose to
explore.

INSTRUCTOR NOTES

Ihstructor notes and curriculum development guidelines are


provided in both generalized and seffd-specific form, ,Theseican/be
utilized as a framework for use in the further and-more specific
,
_curriculum to be developed.

Basically, the sequence of the exemplary program proceeds


from the general to the specific. Mhnufacturing functions,-pro-
cesses and products are overviewed; the relationships of the
selected sub-function of quality'assurance to the overall func-
tions contained in manufacturing are examined; the specific career
fields within quality assurance are examined; and, the specific
work activities contained within the various quality assurance
oriented careers and occupations are examined.

The curriculum is developed and- directed using,behavioral


objectives as a base. The specific objectives are not developed,
in detail. ThiS is an Instructor's Guide and not a course of
instruction.

As a general guideline for the actual course of instruction


and in order to provide better evaluation data, the following .

general curriculum development guidelines are suggested for use in


the subsequent curriculum development activities.

GENERAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES

1. The students should be aware of their present level of


behavior relative to career education objectives (per-
taining to exploration and/or preparation in a chcisen
career field).

2. The students should be made aware of behavior skills


they will learn and what'they mean.

3. Students must be motivated by external and internal


means for acquisition of the behavioral characteristics
inherent in selected career and/or occupations.

The students must have the proper media and materials


available in a progressive sequence. These materials
.should have maximum relatioh to the career field/occu-
pation chosen.

-S. The student must have the oppdrtunity to.learn and


practice the behaviors contained within the career/occu-
pation. This opportunity may be contained in a school'
system classroom or laboratory. However, it may have to
take the form of external trips, working/practicing on-
the-job and/or direct contact with people actually
working in, or who perform, that occupation.

8
The students must have a means of self-evaluating their
learning-experience. This can take the form of a self-
test, and/or instructor, counselor or other resource
personnel appraisals, interviews, and assessments.

The student and instructor must have a means of evalua-


tion which reflects the student's progress using appli-.
cable standards or norms. This'information is to be
considered as feedback to the student for interal'
purposes of reinforcement and/or additional Changes
which may be required: The instructor should use this
information as being applicable to making those changes
or amendments necessary to the management of the learning
experience.. Normallr, a pre-test andpost-test are
useful for those purposes concerned with specific objec-
tive learning.

The objectives to be attained should be written in a


manner which are compatible with expected student
performance.-

9. The objectives so written should be. measurable by one,


some, or all of the senses.

10. The objectives should be as specific as.possible in .

order to promote relevance and cumulative learning.

11. The specific objectives should be written in a manner


which helps relate to the major or overall objective or
goal.

12. :The measurement of student performance in the learning


experience must take into consideration the environment
within which the performance takes place as well as-
specifying the level considered satisfaCtory.

The learning objectives, if time based, must provide for


variance in student's capability for attainment.
Usually, these time-based objectives are written for an
average student's performance range. The differences in
over or under performance will have to be a matter for
instructor-student.interpretation.

It should' be noted that during exploration, the use of specific


objective oriented knowledge and skill acquisitions is more diffi-
'cult to determine than in the case of acquiring a specific skill
such as typing. The acquisition of knowledges, skills and attitudes
be:-
at the exploration level are more general and obtuse than might
desired for purposes of evaluation. Therefore, while the above
guidelines are highly useful for some aspects of curriculum
activities, instructor interpretation will be crucial during this
phase to reprogram based on student asselsments.

OCCUPATION L FIELDS

IETY

PURPOSE

The purpose of this topic s to provide awareness and under-


standing of how 'and what the 1oos and Kindred Products industry
contributes to society. The most diate way to gain such
awareness is to make inquiries wi the home, school or com-
munity and gather data on where and ow pioducts from the ind6stry
are used, and what effect use of the products ha've on individuals.

Overall, this topic should provide a general awareness of the


Food and Kindred Products industry and the kind of roles that this
industry plays in sotiety.

DESIGN

This topic is designed with the idea that a basic awareness


of an industry and how it relates to society is essential to any
,
subsequent investigation of the internal and external work environ-
ment. The reason for focusing on this selected industry is to
reduce the complexity of handling the scope of the entire field of
manufacturing.

SKILLS

The design of this topic has incorporated opportunities for


learner practice in and acquisition of basic skills such as
readin, writing, inquiry skills, reporting and decision-making
skills.) Inter-personal skills can be exercised/acquired if tasks
are assigned as team or group efforts.

OBJECTIV1

As result of exploration activities Contained within this


topid, the learner should be familiar with various ways in whidh
the Food and Kindred Products industry contributes to society.

.
INTRODUCTION

Prior to beginning the topic, the instructor should give a


general introduction explaining what the following topics are
about. A part 'of this introduction should include a general,
discussion of what-manufacturing is and how it is being defined

50
- 40-
in this Guide since learners will encounter at least some of the
terminology in their exploration activities. In doing this, the
introductory and background information on-manufacturing provided
in the Guide will be of great help in`examining manufacturing.
Also, 'the students should be familiar with the Food and Kindred
Products section and general Sections in their Manuals.

INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

Fodd and Kindred Products background erial contained in


the Instructor's Guide and Student Manual.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

It is suggested that instructors use whatever informal method


they wish to assess learner knowledge of-this background informa-
tion. Generally students should know what the Food and Kindred
Ftoducts industries are, what kinds of things they produce and how
their efforts, activities and existence effect and contribute to
our lives (society).

The students should be able to relate growth of the food


industry paralleled by societal growth and changes. The instructor
should check to see that the learners have done this assignment by
reviewing the monitoring-sheets and class data summary.

Learners should submit a report which identifies the basic


nutritional needs, why each is a need, and how the school cafe-
teria and/or home plans for meeting each need. These reports
should be reviewed in light of general nutritional guides to
insure that learners have gained an accurate understanding of
nUtrition and how the cafeteria staff or home accounts for nutri-
tional needs.

2. As a fir- awareness, the instructor can have the


learners jasign a iorm (or use the one attached, page
43) for ssing u,:age of Food and Kindred Products in

.

tics of assessment should be defined by the instructor


and lear, . rs but, in general, the assessment should
cover I. categOties or types of products used or
uses of iTi.ucts or both (e.g. the consumption of various
categories , in the home over a specified period
of time). M:. -,mrners can summarize their data for the
entire class al-. iLlentify the most fiequently consumed
or us-.-71-1 items. lnis summary can be put aside for use
with the next topic which covers marketing as an industry
activity.

As another initial awareness experience to discover how


the Food and Kindred Products industries effect and
contributes-to society, the learners Could consult with
the school nurse, dietitian or science teacher to iden-
tify the minimum daily, requirements of a normal balanced-
diet. Then the cafeteria manager can be interviewed
regarding the purchasing, preparing, and preserving of
school food stuffs to meet the requirements identified
above. For each basic nutritional need, learners can
identify the need and describe how the cafeteria plans
for and meets those needs. The learners should also
attempt to,discover why each of these needs exists (e.g.
how and which government agencies research and establish-
nutritional needs for individuals).

The purpose of this topic is to familiarize learners with the


basic marketing tasks, techniques, and practice's of industry rela-
tive to developing new products, improving existing products and
distributing products to consumers. By examining marketing, a
better understanding and awareness of how the Food and Kindred
Products industries rely on other segments (clusters) of the work
world will result. Examples of this reliance'are the distribution
of products- (transportation), need for new products.(agri-business).

Overall; learners should come away with an awareness of how a


product is marketed and how it became a product in the first-
place. -Once thig has occurred, they can.then -begin to-explore who
.does what,relative to production Of a product.

DESIGN

The desi0 of this topic reflects the idea that learners


Should have the'opportunity to actually experience activities
rather than _simply talking about or hearing about them. Learners
are encouraged to participate actively in planning, conducting and
reporting on tasks in such a way that they gain insight and under-
standing about manufaCturing and the general marketing component
of industrial enterprise.

SKILLS

Learners-are provided with opportunities for practice of


interpersonal skills, communication skills (oral and written) 7

researdh skills as they are applied in the -vork world.

OBJECTIVE

Learners will gain a basic understanding of marketing and the


methods through which consumers are surveyed and how that influ-
ences industrial production.

INTRODUCTION

Learners should have at least baSic background information on


the economic forces and social forces which create the need for
various prodUcts. The insti*tor should arrangor learners to
be given a general overview -14;1 these areas including a perspective
on the marketing component of ndustry. This may be done by the
instructor or through a gues_ Jectur q given by other-Members of
the school staff. Another wa to accomplish thiS would be to have
a speaker from industry come into the classroom and make a presen-
tation. Whatever the strategy employed, learners should have a
basic understanding of the law of supply and demand, what it is
and how industry effefts and is affected by it. They should also
be aware of the role the consumer plays.relative to industry
policies and operations.. When the instructor is satisfied that
learners have gained this basic understanding the following
activities provide very direct, concrete experiences relative to
some of the specific marketing activities and practices of industry.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE.

The instructor should insure that learners are participating


in the discussion and that the learners can identify the charac-
teristics of an ad or commerical based on the set of discussion
questions provided. As an exercise the instructor may wish to
show the students an ad and have them respond to selected cate-
gories of activities listed under Learning Activities.

The instructor should observe how the groups are functioning


relative to completing their tasks. Severe interpersonal problems
should be noted and discussed with group members. In order to
assess the work the group has done the instructor should review
the progress of the group frequently and should review the final
report submitted by the group. The instructor should be sensitive
to such areas as the accuracy of reports, the validity of the
methods used, the completeness of the task and so forth.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

One of.the most visible and common aspects of marketing is


advertising. Industries are very concerned that consumers buy
their products and advertising is a principle means of convincing

56
45 -
the consumer that they should try and use a:product. Learners
should be aware of the importance of advertising.-, Learners can .

locate several examples of advertisements or conmericals about


various food products and then,- in class, the learners can discuss
the Characteristics of these ads. Questions like the following,
should facilitate. discussion:

1. What is the setting in which the product is presented?

a. Physical surroundings.
b. People
c. Mbsic/color or other background device.

2. Is there a known person(s) involved?

3. WI.at benefits are involved by use of the produc ?

4. Overall, what is the general impact intended?

a. Psychological
b. Social

What or who is the intended audience for the ad and


product? (i.e. adults, children.)

How do you know if ads/commercials are successful?

7. Does the ad/commercial promote a product or a company?


(Del Monte ads, for example, promote the company)

8. How honest is the ad?

9. Is there some catchy twist, or slogan or other vice?

10. Who designs advertising media?

Another activity engaged in by the marketing component of


industry is studying'consumer markets. This falls under the
general heading of "market research." Generally there are three
types of studies: (1) Survey; (2) Historical; and (3) Experi-
mental. This activity calls for the cooperation of food stores in
the community. The class can be broken into three groups each
assigned to try one of the types of studies listed below.

CROUP 1: -. Have the group identi,_- some new product


at has appeared on the market. The grouP may'
wish to try more than one strategy for conducting the
survey. Have the grouplesign and: develOp the instru-
ments to be used, and develop the methods and strategies
for conducting a elephon6\personal interview, and mail

46-

57
survey. When they have completed the surveys, have them
organize and analyze the data and prepare a report to he
presented to the class. (Note: This would provide an
excellent opportunity for learners to receive instruc-
tion and practice in reporting writing.)

GROUP 2: HISTORICAL: Have the group identify two stores


serve ii ferent populations of people. Select a
product (or several) and for each store research through
store records, the sales of that product(s). The group
should prepare a report which describes the characteris-
tics of the customer populations, the products selected
(and why) and the findings of their research.

GROUP 3: EXPERDENTAL: Have the group obtain the coopera-


tioñf two stores serving similar populations. Have
the learners design two kinds of ad plans. (e.g. window
only/shelf only) and monitor sales of items. They
should draw conclusions based on their findings and make
a report to the class.

FOOD INDUSTRY WORK FORCE

PURPOSE

The purpose of this topic is to introduce to learners the


classification system developed and used for categorization of the
work force in any of the industrial enterprises in the Mbnufac-
turing Cluster. This system provides a useful framework for
exploration of manufacturing because it facilitates identification
and definition of general functions and also provides a simplified
system for exploring the general relationships between the func-
tions. It is essential that learners achieve this general level
of understanding prior to providing more in-depth exploration
activities in which learners focus on specific occupational
groups.

DESIGN

This toPic is designed te provide a basic understanding of


hOW-the work force of any industrial enterprise can be'classified.
A further feature of the design is that this topic serves as a
framework from which tore detailed exploration of occupational
groups can result. The design further calls for the preparation
Of learners, by Pupil Service and Gadance Personnel, in the area,
of inquiry into occupations (researCh, analysis, etc.).

One crucial element of this topic is the introduction Of the


general cycle employed in decision making which is presented in
the Generalized Curriculum Development Model,-figure 3, pege 27.

- 47 -

58
Decision making an important skill area in the world of work
and learners should be familiar with the steps workers follow in
making deciSions.

SKILLS,

Opportunity is provided for practice of communication skills


(oral/written), basic inquiry skills (researCh/analysis) and
decision making. It is expected that learners will also be
increasing their skills relative to exploration of the real world
of work within the Manufacturing Cluster.

INTRODUCTION

The topic should be introduced with an overview of the


classification system developed in Figure 4, page 52. This system
is usea-to identify the four main functions and the associated
subfunctions. These subfunctions are made up of occupational
groups which will be looked at in some depth in later topics.
Learners should also be told that they are going to examine these
,four functions in general terms as well as the subfunctions.

They should also be told that emphasis will be placed on the


Inspection and Test subfunction in order to discover and examine
the general method used in decision making by persons involved in
this subfunction. They are also going to look at this method in
discovering how to make a decision, generally, as well as how it
is used by various segments of the work force, such as inspection
and test.

The learners should also be told that at the conclusion of


this topic they will learn some training in techniques and
strategies appropriate for in-depth exploration of subfunctions
and occupational groups. The instructor should emphasize the
importance of exploring the work world for purpose of under-
standing and, ultimately, for making more realistic personal
career decisions.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

The instructor should insure that learners have compiled use-


ful definitions for each of the functions. 'The learners ,should
review their definitions tp insure that they can answer the
following questions:

1. Name the functions.

2 What are the general work activities of persons in each


of the functions?

What are the responsibilities inherent in each of the


functions?

4. In general terms what are some of the import t rela-


tionships between the functions?

The instructorcan use these questions to conduct, a hort


review of the function definitions to insure that the learners do
km the definitions of eath.

The instructor should insure that learners have compiled use-


ful definitions for each of the subfunctions. The learners should
review their definitions to insure that they can answer the
following questions:

1. Name the subfunctions by function.

2. What are the general work activities of persons in each


of the subfunctions?

3. What are the responsibilities inherent in each of the


subfunctions?

4. In'general,terms what are some of the important rela-


tionships between the subfunctions?

The instructor can use these'questions to conduct a short


.review of the subfunction definitions to insure that the learners
do know the definitions of each.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

The instructor should conduct a general discussiOn about


classification systems and.the identified functions. (Reference
should be made to Figure 4, page'52.) The learners should attempt
to develop some general definitions for each of the functions-7.

60
49
What,are they? What do they do? When they have done this, the
learners should make a quick check of appropriate resources and
compare the class developed definition against those described in
the prepared materials. Learners should use a work Sheet to do,
this. Further discussion should involve a comparison,of the,two
definitions and learners should discuss what these differences
represent relative to things they did not know or were not aware
of.

Once the functions are defined, class attention should be ,

directed to the major elements of each function, subfunctions.


Learners can refer to various resources (or review films, film-
strips, etc.) to gain a basic understanding of what each of the
subfunction roles and responsibilities is within the industry.
This activity is intended tO-give only an overview of the sub-,,
funttions and should not be time consuming. The subfunction
definitions Should be recorded on a work sheet.

The instructor should summarize these activities by dis-


cussing with learners the importance of decision making irCany of
'the functions. In order-to fulfill roles and meet their,respon-
sibilities, people in each of these functions (sObfunctions) must
constantly make decisions. If production is to be efficient and
the resulting product is to-be satisfattory,-the decisions made
must be of,a high,quality. One segment of the industrial work
force concerned with these are those people from:the "Quality
Assurance" (Engineering) and."Inspection and Test" (Factory) sub-
functions. After a teView of the steps involved in decision
making, an examination of those subfunctions Since each in one way
or another is concerned about and involved with decision making.

NOTE: An excellent course vehicle for use in exploration
and preparation for Careers in Manufacturing, which addresses the
prerequisite objectives, is THE WORLD OF MANUFACTURING published
by McKnight Publishing Co., Bloomington, Illinois.

INTRODUCTION

Prior to participation in the following described activities,


the instructor and other support personnel-should be familiar with
the general description of the manufacturing modeLcontained in
the introductory chapter of this Guide.

The model contains many paths or ways by which to describe


and explain Quality Assurance Careers, occupations and work
related activities. Already covered, in Units 1 and 2, are the
marketing and.industrial-society components of manufacturing.
These could be examined for intersection with Quality'Assurance.
In this manner the integration of this subfunction (or any other
to be explored) will be maximized.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

OBJECTIVE 1

The students will be able to relate their inherent abilities,


interests and attitudes to Quality ASsurance Careers contained
within the structure'of food and kindred products industry.

ACTIVITY TO MEET OBJECTIVE 1:

Afttr reviewing and/or overviewing prerequisite objectives,


the instructor should overview Manufacturing ainctions and discuss
and explain work-activity knowledges, skills and attitude.profiles
of typical subfunctions and the people who work in these roles.
The instruCtor will then be able to relate, by degree, what
skills, knowledges and attitudes students already'possess which
can be built upon OY used in this program. Also, the instructor
can discuss the learning objectives at this point.

At this time motivational factors will be a major considera-


tion as they will determine individual student action's. The
factors external to motivation,re: the-environment and "command"
situations, as well as the intrinsic factors of motivation (innate
interest development), will have to be carefully watChed and
attended.

The instructor is asked to direct the inquiry about preers


and Manufacturing to the Quality Assurance subfunction clir'eer
field within manufacturing. It is very necessary to delAmit
4

'further exploratory education and experience to.this careers area

68
- 55 -
as the example unit addresses only this segment of Careers in
Manufacturing. This action should not preclude the instructor
from talking, discussing or investigating other career'fields.

LABORATORY OR WORK ACTIVITY

It is recommended that the students examine the various


occupational profiles contained within the DOT and other refer-
ênces in order to determine the profiles of certain occupations in
Quality Assurance or Inspection and test subfunctions listed in
the Manufacturing Mbdel. In the area of Quality Assurance, these
titles will be,typical:

Quality Assurance Manager


Quality Assurance Administrative Assistant
Quality Assurance Secretaries
Quality Assurance Clerk-Typist (Technical- ist)
Reliability Engineers
Reliability Technician
MairrLainability Engiaeer
Quality Control Engineer
Quality Control Technician
ality Control Inspector
Incoming Materials'Inspector
On-Line Inspector
Performance Test Inspectors
Final Test Inspectors
Shipping Inspectors
Salvage Inspectors
Quality Assurance Materials Engineer
Quality Assurance Materials Technician

The above titles and codifications can be found quickly in


the DOT. It might be helpful herein to invite a state employment
supervisor and/or industrial advisor to the classroom to help
interrogate these occupations. The students should be able to
work singularly or in groups in these profile determinations for
some,or any of these occupations. Each student or group should be
able to list the general educationl requirements for occupations;
specific vocational preparation, aptitudes, interests, physical
demands, environmental conditions and temperments.

Any of the above materials sets could be used singularly or


in combination during this program. These wdll be useful in later
activities concerning information acquisition, selection/rejection
of career areas and future profiling of student development.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

The student should be able to compare his own rnterests,


aptitudes, skills, knowledges, environmental conditions desired,
etc., with those of the occupations being studied. This is the
first prerequisite to being able to make a career decision and
might be termed data acquisition. Basically the student must know
how to acquire types and kinds of data from identified resources.

OBJECTIVE 2

The student will be able to understand the political, eco-


nomic, technical, sociological and psychological aspects of this
career field.

ACTIVITY TO MEET OBJECTIVE 2:

Presentation. This lecture could assume the following pos-


ture and be applicable to all of manufacturing by using Quality
Assurance as the vehicle:

Without discussing philosophy, a convenient tool would be to


look at what the executive segment of manufacturing does. (See
attached typical Management Activities Chart, Figure 5, page 60.)
By discussing the why, when, where, wliom, what and how of these
activities as -related to the entire scope of manufacturing, the
political, sociological, technical, economic and psychological

57

68
dimensions of all manufacturing can be quickly scussed as a
composite. This can be further refined to the a ea of Quality
Assurance, as this_subfunetion exists in like structure and has
its own whys, whats, whom, where, when and hows hich answer to
the executive level Structure in the same manner.

These subject areas can be taught discretely by the various


school systeM departments and synthesized at this session for the
purposes of examining Quality Assurance as a composite. It might
serve the purpose; at-this timeT-to invite Quality Assurance- --
personnel into the classroom to discuss their philosophY, ethics,
and purposes as they are affected by and have affect on'these
subject Ttter-areas.--

The foods industry is particularly gdfod for exploring in


these areas. The pre-objectives accomplished in units 1 and 2
will be germaine here. Extension can be made into Food and Drug
Administratim, Laws and Regulations, Liquor production and
sales, etc.

LABORATORY OR WORK ACTrVITY

The students can work singularly Or in:groups and examine the


political, economic', sociological, psydhological ancLtedhnological
apects of Quality Assurance subfunctions in the Riad and Kindred
POducts industry by:

1. Examining in-school cafeteria buying.and selling practices.

2. Examining an in-town supermarket in these dimensions.

3. Arranging to visit a local farm or food producing plant


for observation and interview.

Tracking food advertisements-on televiion and noting


tbeir personal and family responses regal-ding the local
supermarket.

What is Vality to the purchaser? How does the consumer


decermine the quality of the purdhase?

Who is in charge of quality control in the home?

How are products preferred and bought as related to


quality?

ment. This-paradigm can be:used for evaluation in and during
objective 5.

OBJECTIVE 3

, The studen will be able to utilize decision-making capa-


bilities in the selection of-this career or for other career
fields that are compatible with his self-afareness and ffuture
self-identity.

ACTIVITY TO MEET OBJECTIVE 3:

Presentation: The teacher should overview the Quality


Assurance subfunction, related occupations and work activities in
Figure 6, page 63. Particular attention should be given to the
work-activities in Inspection and Test. These activities are a
Decision-Making Model. It would be ideal to be able to obtain a
food specification and to follow the product through a production
and test line to see the operations, results of measurement and
what happens to the product, accept or reject. -

Barring this, an ideal simulation would be to have the stu-


dents select a product from their homes, that they may be buying
or have bought. A general form of specification can be obtained
from the Instruction Book of "tag" on the device or a warranty.
Canned or frbzen food is an excellent example. The process of the
seven steps could then be followed and the Model formed and the
steps interrogated.

Work Activity. Wha ever is chosen as the product vehicle,
the students Lk:add examine the specification; measure the product
listing the '!tools" or data used) comparing the_product to the
Specification; determining conformance (or not) recording the data
(in proper'form) and determining disposition. This is the prime
function of all Quality Assurance and can be used to further
examine the various knowledges and skills required to accomplish
each step in the Mbdel.

Also, this basic Mbdel in other terminology, is used by all


listed subfunctions on the N del in those decision-making activi-
ties inherent to their role.

OBJECTIVE 4

The students will be able to use their self-awareness factors


as tempered by abolie objectives assimilation, to proceed (or
reject and re-select) with exploration and beginning skills
acquisition activities related to their selected career.

ACTIVITY TO MEET OBJECTIVE 4:

Presentation: The instructor should give an overview of


Quality Assurance subfunctions and activities within the Food and
Kindred Products. At this time the students should have profiles
of themselves and selected profiles of various occupations and
careers within Quality Assurance. The object of this topic is to
have the students, to the degree possible, take their own self-
awareness and goals profile and utilize the information via the
decision-making model,-to decide to continue exploration in,one or
many Quality Assurance careers, or to reject further exploration
in this field and select another (tentatively).

EVALUATION

The evaluation of this objective is -being-able-to utilize


the element decision-making model in any dimension, be it QUality
Control or personal or other.

This model is useful in the selection and predictive ac '-


ties concerned with objective S.

The evaluation criteria would be based on the ability of the


student to acquire pertinent information and categorize it properly
within the decision-making model and U5e the information to nake a
"good or proper" decision.

Evaluation,of this unit would be made subjectively by both


the instructor and student (with, perhaps, a counselor and/or
industry resource personnel). The evaluation would be based on
the amount of understanding that the student has of future needs
(educational and experiential) as they relate to known student
profile.

OBJECTIVES

The student will be able to identify, a proposed course of


further education and/or experiences necessary to the continuing
pursuit of a career within the Career field selected at some
desired or indicated level.

ACTIVITY TO MEET OBJECTIVE 5:

Presentation: After the decision-making and the first


interpretation, either to continue exploration in Quality Assurance
careers or to select another career field, the instructor should
ask how the student plans to do this.

This should bring about identification of data-poor sections


of the decision-making model and what other experiences and
information might be desirable beforepaking the final decision.

LABOR OR WORK ACTIVITY

The students should be able to utilizq the decision-making


model and the information properly weighted and categorically
assigned. The students should be able to fill in the Nhnagement
Activities Chart (Figure 4, page 52) converted to their own con-
tinuing plans for further education or preparation in some selected
career in Quality Assurance or other career field.

tional field.

ROLES AND SKILLS

PURPOSE

The purpose of this topic is to extend the methods of selec-


tion and inquiry learners have already initiated, by having them
explore the skill and job characteristic components of occupations
within a subfunction through a variety of methods. It is suggested
that various audio-visual resources be used to review what goes on
in the production process from the perspective of all functions.
What steps and what tasks are involved? Who does them and what
these people have to know and be capable of doing in order to
perform these tasks? A secondary purpose is to give the learner
the opportunity to study an industry in more depth to gain a
better understanding of what manufacturing is all about.

DESIDI

The topic design provides the opportunity for learners to


experience, through simulation, basic occupational tasks. Learner
experiences are also designed to provide study of job performance,
skill requirements and exemplary processing systems within an
industry. The end result of these activities should be a better
understanding of skill requirements for job occupations and the
impoAance of specific job performance in the overall processin
system.

SKILLS

T6 learners are provided the opportunity to practice commu-


nication and interpersonal skills as well as reading, writing and
research skills. The first two are very important in terms of the
work liorld and this topic is an opportunity to take a harder look
at what comprises these skills. Another important skill acquisi-
tion will be self-assessment.

OBJECTIVE

The learner should be familiar with the skills required for


entry level in various job categories and should be able to
realize the idea of skill requirements in a processing system.

77
64-
-INTRODUCTION

Prior to the topic activities the instructor should spend


some time discussing the lesson content and particularly the idea
of simulation as a method of learning about something without
actually having to be on-site. It is important that learners
understand this idea before the lesson begins. Discussion should
also focus on how skill requirements for jobs can be identiffee-
and what the term "entry-level skill" mans. Again, it is impor-
tant that learners understand this idea prior to experiencing the
activities in the topic.

As part of the introduction, the group should also discuss


what a processing system is. Particularly important is the con-
cept of sequential steps. The idea that being able to perform one
task in the sequence may be dependent upon someone else doing
something is important. This will provide a basic understanding
of the assembly line concept and the interrelationships of the
other personnel such as lawyers, researchers, payroll personnel,
etc., who are not in the line but are part of the total operation.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

The instructor should judge the overall success of this


simulation activity relative to student participation and interest.
The instructor should be especially sensitive to learner input
into the activity like corrective suggestions, etc., which improve
the production process.

It is important that learners realize the importance of


rapidly effected technological advances in industry. The instructor
should be satisfied that learners have gained this awareness.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

As a springboard for class discussion a generalized manufac-


turing production/processing system should be presented, using
handouts, transparencies, films or other aids. Discussion should
then be directed toward the specialized area of food processing,
with appropriate resources for support. The concept of simulation
should be briefly reviewed, and used to lead into an explanation
of how preparing a class luncheon can simulate the major activi-
ties in a food processing operation. Roles should be chosen by
the learners in planning, purchasing, processing (preparing
packaging, marketing, or distribution. Learners should then
choose. roles consistent with the needs of the processing operation.

79

-66-
The class should then iTiplement the activity, playing the neces-
sary roles from plaaning to the ultimate role or consumers. For
each of the roles identified, learners should develop a profile of
the skills, knowledge and ability usually associated with each in
the work world. Industry personnel can be used, standard resources
and job descriptions (DOT, Occ iiational Outlook Handbook, etc.)
cam be referred to in developing ese pro ies.

Using information obtaimed from published sources, as well as


first hand from field trip to and/or speakers from local industry,
gather comprehensive data for analysis of plant operations. Each
major depaiUnent or system should be surveyed, using a prepared
analysis sheet. Emphasis should be placed on new technologies or
systqms, and their impact on previously existing occupational
groups, as well as their demands for new skills. Questions like
the following can help focus learner efforts:

1. How have new_productian systeMs/machinery affected the


emploYment of unskilled/semi7skilled workersT

How does the development of new technology affect


employment? Is there need for more research and develop-
ment people? When?

Have new occupational groups come into existence as a


result of technological or systens advances?

Generally, have advances brought about any changes in


the demand for skills, knowledge, ability, for workers
entering the industry? (This question should be
attended to in more depth than the others.)

Have learners choose a type of.food processing operation


which exists in the community, as a real world example can be
examined. The\learners should arrange on a chart, the proper
sequence of the major operations the industry perforns in pro-
ducing products and classify the skill, knowledge and abili
levels of the actions called for in these operations, using the
Dictiona Of Occ ational Titles and Job Guides For Yowl Workers
an a e t em note any e ects o increasing use 0 newpte
nologies in food preservation techniques within the firm, such as
freeze-drying, and automated processing equipment. Particular
attention should be given to technical sequencing, mechanical
operation, and the serv-ices and tasks of inspectors and monitors.
The learners can gather much of this information from personmel
within the firm. The instructor should insure that learners
attend all the functions and major subfunctions as far as they are
involved idth or effect the production operations.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

The sequencing and classifying should,be reviewed for accu-


racy and completeness. A reason ly true accounting of what goes
on'in an actual operation shoul result from this activity.
Accompanying this description s ould be a profile of the skill,
ability, knowledge requiremen for persons performing the various
operations. Probably the be way of doing this is to ask learners
to develop a flow chart whi shows' th e process steps and provides
space to enter the profiles next to the various operations. Below
is a suggested schematic:

WENT PATTERNS

PURPOSE

There are two purposes for this topic. First, the topic
provides-a-set of suggested activities which can give learners
further experiences in exploring and'learning about one segment of
Mhnufacturing, namely, Food and Kindred Products. Second, the
topic encourages learners to know more about the kinds of employ-
ment opportunities that exist now and in the future.

DESIGN

This topic is designed so that learne s discover employment


opportunities as a result of analyzing how, within the industry,
various tasks are done and how emerging technology affects the
need for people to work in these task areas. By designing the/
topic in this fashion the depth of exploration of_the industry
increases while directing the student's attention to assessing
employment opportunities. Part of the topic design suggests that
learners go to representative companies and talk,with personnel I

about employment opportunities h3th present_and future oriented.


The assistance of counselors will r,rove ve helpful.

SKILLS

Learners are provided with opportunities to practi e research,


communicatiOn,'interview and model construction skill/ is well as
basic reading id writing skills. Modeling is a new skill for the
unit and is considered very important since it provi es. a very
useful tool for analyzing processes and jobs in a cr tical objec-
tive manner.

OBJECTIVE

The learner should gain further awafeness of the industry in


general, as well as specifically and to gain knowledge of the
employment patterns and opportunities within theindustry.

INTRODUCTION

The topic introeluction should include general discussion of


the kind of tasks and industry has done on both a continuous and
,

emerging basis. Continuing tasks are such things as insuring that


packaging of products is consistent and within legal standards,
that sanitary conditions are maintained,.that the product/is
selling and so forth. Emerging tasks might be those concerned--
with ecology, and the need for new or better products.

69-

82
The topic should also be introduced with discussion of how
you discover what employment patterns and opportunities exist
within an industry... The idea of researching should be discussed
and.the various methods of doing this research should be brought
out, such as interviewing 'industry people, reading about new
tejmological advances, researching government regulations which
may place increased or new demands on industry. The instructor
and learners should try to discuss several such methods, including
the use of such standard resources as newspapers, employment
opportunity bulletns, industry bulletins and the Occupational
Outlook Handbook.

INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

Representatives from industry can come to the classroom or


meet with students at the job site to act as resource experts.

EVALUATION- 20CEDURE
1

The 'instructor should monitor the task groups as they work.


Decisions concerning the group.performance should be based on the
judgment of the instructor. ilhe most important thing for the
learners is to rate the employment opportunities for the occu-
pational groups they encounter. To insure that they have accom-
plished this, the learners can be asked to complete a worksheet
like that provided in the resources.. Also, the instructor can
83
70
poll learners or ask them to write a short narrative rating pre-
sent and future employment opportunities and the trends of these
opportunities relative to which facets or problem area within the
industry will have the greatest demand for new personnel.

The instructor should revi6w the interview experience with


the learners and judge their understanding and participation in
the.experience. Obviously, if some leatners have.conducted an
interview while others have participated only by-viewing or_
hearing a recording,'the standard for instructor judgment should
reflect the differences above.

The models developed should 5e reviewed as well as the rating


the learners make about employment opportunities within the pro-
cesses modeled. The ratings should be judged according:to the
structure and supportive information the learner provides.

MkCHING ACTIVITIES

Learners should be organized into task groups to explore ways


in which the food industries address and:attemet to control various
production and ecological problems, such as deceptive packaging,
nonuniform weights, air pollution, water pollution, etc. Ast.he
learners study these topics, they can be examining, through
tandard resources and newspapers, the kinds Of employment oppor-
tunities that exist for the occupational groups they selected.
The learners can also review projected increases in attempts to
solve these problem and assess the impact of these future pro-
jections relative to employment opportunities. The instructor
could ask learners to develop a chart or other suitable represen-
tation of their findings, both in terms of amount of industry
time, money, etc., devoted to the problems and in terms of the
employment opportunities. (The instructor may wish to work with
the guidance department in determining the most effective manage-
ment of this activity.) Learners should pay partiCular attention
to opportunities for unskilled and semi-skilled Workers in the
industry to gain an understanding of why education and training
a-e so important in today's and tomorrow's work world\

If an on-site visit can be arranged for at least d small


group of students to meet With anddnterview a personnel represen-
tative from a food related industry, it would provide an excellent
experience relative to exploring the kinds of employment oppor
tunities that exist presently and those that may exist in the
future. If possible, it would be helpful to haVe such a session
taped (video Or aUdi0) so that the experience could be reviewed by
the other learners. The instructor and/or counselor should work
with/learners in structuring and practicing the interview tech-
niques to be used. A part of the structuring should insure that

84
71
occupational groups selected by all learners be covered. .1he
instructor should be aware of the fact that an experience like
this can also provide basic inquiry skills which can be of tre-
mendous help to learners in the future.

An important aspect of food processing is the efforts to pro-


tect food from spoilage and to preserve or enhance color and
taste. The learners can investigate how these tasks are done and
what is involved in these tasks relative to the occupational
groups the learners selected. It could prove interesting for the
learners to model the ways in which the protection and preserva-
tion of food are accomplished by illustrating the steps and
sequences in flow or task analysis form. Such a model can include
illustrations of chemical treatment, refrigeration, canning,
freezing, freeze drying, curing and the use of antibiotics and
ultraviolet ray treatments. The amount of detail expected in this
1 e arne r-proj ect=will-depend-on-t ime-and-what-an-instructor-deems
as appropriate in terms of the \Orojective. The instructor should
encourage the learners to check the employment opportunities in
the task areas being modeled.

TIE REAL WORLD

PURPOSE

The ultimate step in Exploration is the actual personal


experience in the work world through participating in a coopera-
tive program ,of some type, whether serving as a volunteer in the
school or community or becoming'involved in a work study or other
similar program. If learners do gain such experience they should
be able to make more realistic judgments about their own future
life.

This topic is actually a set of suggestions reflecting ways


in which this real world tryout can be provided for learners.

DESIGN

The design of this topic calls for the provision for work
-_-,exi)erience for learners.
This will require the efforts of a
placement coordinator or assigned school agent to work with
learners and various industries, Or other agencies in order to
locate suitable situations for learners.
SKILLS

Learners seeking a personal work experience in the Food and


Kindred Products area should receive experience in applying for
jobs, interviewing for jobs, Communication, interpersonal skills
and basic work skills, like being on time, following directions
and so forth, even if the experience is simulated within the
school.

OBJECTIVE

Lealners should have at least one personal work experience


during the Exploration phase of their education life in order to
gain an understanding and awareness of what work is all about.
Also, they should be able to make decisions about their own future
based in part on thiswork experience

INTRODUCTION

Learners should be told that provisions haVe been made for


them to participate in a work experience situation in the Food and
Kindred Products industry or in a simulation program. Those
learners who wish to take advantage of this should be told to
apply for the "jobs" (which should be arranged and listed in
(In
advance). A standard application form should be available.
order to insure a variety of types.of opportunities, it is essen-
tial that certain experience and educational requirements not be
considered although learners should fill in these sections on the.
applicatirm.) Arrangements should also b6 Made so that learners
can be interviewed for selected positionS. They should be told
that this will be part.of the procedure/for work experience place-
ment. (This form should resemble those used by personnel depart-
ments at cooperating industrial sites.! Possibly actual forms
could be made available.),

INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES'

Consult your lOcal Chamber of Commerce, CIE Coordinator, or


State:Training and Employment Service for kinds of jobs available
in your community.

National Frozen Food Assoc' tion.

National Food: eservers Association; and National Audio-


visual Center (films).

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

The learner can be assessed for participation. If the parti


cipation is a wOrk-Study, volunteer, or patt-time employment
experience, the supervisor or employer should be contacted to

73 -

86
-assess_how learners have performed,- -If-the-experience As-in--
school, the appropriate school personnel should be contacted
relative to student interest, promptness and knowledge.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

Learners interested in a personal work experience related to


the Food and Kindred Products industry should be encouraged to
apply for such an experience. Various kinds of out-of-school
opportunities should be available. Learners should also be pre-
pared to be interviewed for one of the available positions. As
part of their work experience they should be watching, listening
and learning about the work world. When they complete their -rk
experience.they should make a brief oral presentation to the class
about their experiences.

. If it-is not possible of-desifiElle-td-arrange out-of-school


work experiences for the learners, a program of simulated experi-
ences can be developed. Such a program could be conducted within
school facilities taking adVantage of the cafeteria and associated
food service facilities. Learners could serve in various roles
related to food storage, processing and preparation. Whenever
possible, they could also take part in the purchasing, distribu-
tion, and bookkeeping functions, as well as other related activi-
ties. For all identifie&openings, learners should make a formal
_application, appear for an interview and' be expected to maintain a
work s-chedule, etc.- Arrangements for and conduct of such a pro-
gram should be made through the cooperation of hoffie economics, ,

science, cafeteria and guidance staff,.to insure an integrated


experience for learners.

If this situation prevails it would be an ideal time to


establish an industry simulation by function:' Management, Support,
Engineering and Factory. Then the occupations could be assigned
to interested students and a representative:industry set up,
operated and evaluated.

PROGRAM PRODUCT CATEGORIES

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to figure 2, page 16-and Table I, page 17.


The product categories are'shown along the bottom line of the
manufacturing structure and are nunbered 19 through 39. These
numbers are related to specific product categories listed in
products is
Table I. When any product category and one or many
taken as a curriculum design baseline, the structure of manufac-
turing will become dynamic in its interrelated elements. Starting
curriculum design at any point of product interest will generate
the design parameters by such typical questions as:

What functions are necessary to the manufactur of-this-


product?

2. What processes are necessa

3. What characteristics will this type of Manufacturing


Enterprise encompass?
--

Also, by use of the interrelationship between functions, pro-


cesses and products, exploration can be widely and rapidly accom-
plished. The entire span of subfunctions, work force structure,
process machinery and equipment and manufacturing environments is
will be
made highly visible. During this phase of study it
possible to keep away from teaching narrow jobs and tas l. and
permit open-ended exploration by function.

The following pages contain:

1. Brief description of each product category.

2. Suggested learning experiences per category.

3. Sources of information and resources for each product


category. These are classified and related by function
and by general applicability.
of
The Exploration Student Nianlial contains, the sane structure

1. Industry definition
2. Types of products
3. Importance
4. Typical jobs
S. Expected working conditions
6. The future of the industry

79-

92
Both this Instructor's Guide and the Student Resource.Manual
should be utilized in design, development and operation of a pro-
gram in exploration of manufacturing occupations.

The manufacturing products category include the twenty-one


products categories that follow in the next section.

ORDNANCE AND ACCESSORIES

This major group includes establishments engaged in manufac-


turing artillery, small arms, and related equipment; ammunition;
tanks and specialized tank parts. ,..ighting and fire control equip-
ment; and. miscellaneous .0.Tdnance accessories:,-not-elsewhere-
classified.

ACTTVITIES AND EXPERIENCES

In order to understand how ordnance and accessories contri-


bute to society, instructional Activities'should include:

1. Visit the library and research the inventions, pro-


cesses, and products that were the result of ordnance
industry output, both in war and peace.

2. Research the changing defense methods that have resulted


from changes in weapon systems and their capabilities.

3. Read and consider the effect war has on this country's


economy, especially during the second world wan EaCh
student should also realize the'effect defense cutbacks
have on employment, income, and general iavestment and
conSumption.

To more positively identify with the field of ordnance pro-


duct on, it is suggested that the instructor:

1. Read personnel accounts of the role.of radar and the


spitfire airplane in the defense of England.

2. Survey and classify the number of typ6 of sporting


equipmalt produced and distributed within the United
States for recreational uses.

In order to simulate the effect of variations in otdnance


capabilities on international relations; the instructor may:

1. Play standard International simulation games that are


available commercially but vary the industrial and war
capabilities of the natitm states.
9
-
2. Create crisis sitilations Calling for rapid increased
ordnance capabilities and form task groups to plan,
produce, and service these situations as necessary.

3. Roleiplay the effect of international arms saleS


diplomacy and domestic governments of developing nations
by using nations as primary actors.

To simulate the skills required in entry level jobs within


the ordnance industry, the instructor may:

1. Work with the industrial arts teacher to gain experience


in welding, molding, and sheet metal processing.

Use model kits of ordnance weapons Or systems to assemble,-


install, and inspect such weapons or systems.

In order to be informed of the employment cmtlook within


ordnance field, the instructor should

1. Interview personnel directors and professional groups _ of


scientists, engineers, and technicians.

2. Conduct a survey of ordnance and accessory_firms located


within the ,commity to find the number and type of
openings eXpected in the near future.

Talk with entry level workers concerning the skill


required for this industry as they have experienced it.

To gain experience with the operations within the ordnance


industry, the instructor may:

1. Make use of old equipment to dismantle, inspect, and


assemble small arms, sighting and fire control equipment.

2. Arrange for'part time, summer, or other work programs


within the ordnance industry in the local community.

Visit military establishments to carry out entrydevel


inspection-and operation of ordnance weapons and equip-
ment needed to service thc.n.

SUGGESTIONS FOR- EXT N ED U AGE 'OF THE
INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE

Primarily, this guide was developed to:

I Enhance and promote understanding of the Manufacturing


Enterprise; -

Provide a structural-model of manufacturing to.support


and facilitate understanding; and

,Provide instructional models and related information


enabling school system personnel to design, develop and
conduct courses directed-toward exploring and planning
2 for careers, occupations and/or jobs within the Manu-
facturing Enterprise.

The main purpose is to provide exploratory experience. The


problem yet to be resolved is how much understanding. All of the
known knawledges, skills and attitudinal components are within the
field encompassed by the terminology--manufacturing. All of the
functions, scope, purposes and interests of all other named
"clusters," i.e., Transportation, Business Health, Construction,
andTersonal Services, are in existence wiihin, and/or highly
interact with, manufacturing. There may be some unique specialty
in other delineated cluster functions Or scope. Hbwever, theie
will not be too different from those encountered within the Manu-
facttring Enterprise.

The Manufacturing Model was formed in a structural format


which is typically generic. This was accomplished to serve the
main reason of promoting understanding in a multi-dimensional
environmental envelope. Also, Manufacturing, as modeled in order
to facilitate exploring and preparing-for careers in other related
"clusters." Once any cluster is thought of in these three (3)
dimensions, higher degrees of relationship can exist. For
instance, using the structure of Manufacturing to explore or
prepare for careers or occupations in any other "cluster" field is
possible, as:

1. Functions would not change in scope; maybe the title,


but not basic duties, knawledges and skills; and factory
functions might change to service functions.

2. Processes may be delimited to one or two, but keep same


scope and purpose; and,
